Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- ¼ tsp Water
- Orange Food Coloring
- Cream Horn Molds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the crescent roll package instructions.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and pinch the seams together.
- Cut the dough into ½-inch strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Shape the strips into 7-8 inch ropes.
- Wrap the dough around a cream horn mold, starting at the bottom and spiraling upward.
- Color the dough: Mix orange food coloring with water, then brush it onto the crescent rolls using a clean paintbrush.
- Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown.
- Cool before removing from molds.
- Fill with your desired sweet or savory filling before serving.
Notes
- No cream horn molds? Use a wooden clothes pin (without the spring) or shape by hand.
- For a natural orange hue, try using carrot or beet juice instead of food coloring.
- Make ahead: Bake the crescent rolls and store in an airtight container. Fill just before serving.
